John Peet (b. 1954) is a British journalist, who is at present the Europe editor of The Economist newspaper and a highly-respected expert in economic matters. He has been interviewed and been involved in public discussions on various topics, including water management and the European Union(see references and external links below).
Peet was previously a Health Correspondent with The Economist from 1986-1998 and Business Affairs Editor (1998-2003). Prior to this he was Brussels Correspondent, Executive Editor, Surveys Editor, Finance Correspondent, Washington, DC Correspondent and Britain Correspondent. Previously he was a civil servant, working for the British Treasury and Foreign Office (1976 to 1986).
Peet has been the writer of many successful surveys, including ones concerning Ireland, water, Italy, the EU and many others. Peet is considered as one of the key people influencing the resignation of the Italian banker Antonio Fazio, after his 2004 survey of the country singled out people like him as one of the causes for Italy's ongoing economic decline. Typically when the FT reported the story of the resignation later that month, they made no mention of Peet's influence.
Peet has famously spoken out regarding the de-centralisation of public water supplies, trading it as a commodity, and in some cases, privatisation. [1]
He currently lives in Wiltshire, is married and has three children.
